carry =! concealed carry.

result and justification remains.

No, reasonable/reasonable person as judged by the judge or jury.

He was restrained and then murdered by the police without any proof that he even committed a crime bigger than selling CDs on the street.

But the cops didn’t know any of that when they arrived on the scene. He could have been a serial killer and this shooting would have still be unjustified.

Fuck you. The whitest white boy would have gotten shot too if he resisted arrest, continued to resist after they used the taser on him, and reached for his gun while resisting arrest.

lol you people are fucking priceless.

What does that have to do with whether or not the circumstances called for the use of the force in this instance?

Don’t worry, pretty middle class white lady, you probably don’t carry an illegal gun around, threaten people with it, and reach for it while resisting arrest. You’ll be just fine.

lol, criminals-resisting-arrest-and-reaching-for-a-gun’s lives don’t matter.

But lets just assume whatever facts fit our agenda and get OUTRAGED because Gawker!

Guy has an illegal gun (ex felon) illegally carried (concealed), threatens someone with said gun, sticks around and resists arrest by police, goes for gun in pocket, police shoot him before he can shoot them, and everyone loses their minds???

So you can’t reach for your gun and shoot someone on top of you simply because you’re on the ground?

There is an objective component to SYG laws, i.e. your perception must be “reasonable.”

Hey chicken little, do you have a global warming blog post quota?

you’re damn right it is.
